Comparison of Clinician Versus Parental Perspectives of Outcomes in Cochlear Implantees: A South Indian Experience.

Outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) are generically assessed using standard validated measures like CAP, SIR, MAIS and MUSS scales. Although this reflects the improvement in auditory verbal skills among the implantees with habilitation over one year, the overall perception of their skill development may vary between the parents of these children and the clinicians who provide the habilitation. This study aimed to compare the CAP and SIR scores sequentially over habilitation and further analyzes the correlation between clinician assessment (with CAP/SIR scores) and parental perspective (with MAIS/MUSS scores), at the end of one year of habilitation.
